  2. List of map projections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

    Gott, Goldberg and Vanderbei’s double-sided disk map was designed to minimize all six types of map distortions. Not properly "a" map projection because it is on two surfaces instead of one, it consists of two hemispheric equidistant azimuthal projections back-to-back.

  3. Mercator projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection

    Proportions of distorted and real size. Note that the map is multiply interrupted along political lines. 360° cylindrical projections: Equirectangular, Miller, Mercator, and true cylindrical. As with all map projections, the shapes or sizes are distortions of the true layout of the Earth's surface.

  4. AuthaGraph projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AuthaGraph_projection

    An approximation of the AuthaGraph projection. AuthaGraph is an approximately equal-area world map projection invented by Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa [1] in 1999. [2] The map is made by equally dividing a spherical surface into 96 triangles, transferring it to a tetrahedron while maintaining area proportions, and unfolding it in the form of a rectangle: it is a polyhedral map projection.

  6. World map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_map

    A world map is a map of most or all of the surface of Earth. World maps, because of their scale, must deal with the problem of projection. Maps rendered in two dimensions by necessity distort the display of the three-dimensional surface of the Earth. While this is true of any map, these distortions reach extremes in a world map.

  7. Gall–Peters projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gall–Peters_projection

    The Gall–Peters projection of the world map. The Gall–Peters projection is a rectangular, equal-area map projection. Like all equal-area projections, it distorts most shapes. It is a cylindrical equal-area projection with latitudes 45° north and south as the regions

  8. Map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection

    Reference maps of the world often appear on compromise projections. Due to distortions inherent in any map of the world, the choice of projection becomes largely one of aesthetics. Thematic maps normally require an equal area projection so that phenomena per unit area are shown in correct proportion. [41]

  9. Equirectangular projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equirectangular_projection

    Equirectangular projection of the world; the standard parallel is the equator (plate carrée projection). Equirectangular projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation and with the standard parallels lying on the equator True-colour satellite image of Earth in equirectangular projection Height map of planet Earth at 2km per pixel, including oceanic bathymetry information, normalized as 8 ...
